Both will start as favourites against Mongolia’s Khovd Western FC and Strykers FC of Guam respectively with a second win setting up an explosive final day tussle.

As for Khovd and Strykers, defeat in their respective opening match means that there will be no room for error if they are to reignite their hopes in the competition.

Venue: Markaziy Stadium (Qarshi)

PFC Nasaf’s impressive performance in their 3-0 success against APF FC will see the Uzbekistan side confident of staying on the winning trail when they face Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr Club.

Diyorakhon Khabibullaeva’s sharpness - with two goals already under her belt - will be a test for Al Nassr’s experienced Brazilian centre-back Kathellen.

Meanwhile, Thailand’s College of Asian Scholars will be equally keen to take their points tally to six against an APF side reeling from their opening day defeat.

Group C
Sdyushor SI - Asiagoal (KGZ) v Etihad Club (JOR)
Venue: Hang Jebat Stadium (Melaka)
Kick-off: Thursday, 16:45 (UTC+8)

Lion City Sailors FC (SGP) v Kelana United FC (MAS)
Venue: Hang Jebat Stadium (Melaka)
Kick-off: Thursday, 20:45 (UTC+8)

Singapore’s Lion City Sailors FC have the opportunity to hold onto their two-point advantage as they eye up another win against Kelana United FC of Malaysia.

Teenager Ami Takeuchi bagged both goals for Sailors in their win against Jordan’s Etihad Club and the forward will be keen to add to her tally in this Southeast Asian derby.

A battling performance in their goalless draw against Kelana United will be used as a platform for Kyrgyz Republic’s Sdyushor SI - Asiagoal as they look to nail their first win but Etihad will be no pushovers as they look to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to their campaign.

Group D
RTC FC (BHU) v Naegohyang Women’s FC (PRK)
Venue: Lao National Stadium KM16 (Vientiane)
Kick-off: Thursday, 16:00 (UTC+7)

Master FC (LAO) v Kaohsiung Attackers FC (TPE)
Venue: Lao National Stadium KM16 (Vientiane)
Kick-off: Thursday, 19:30 (UTC+7)

There will be no complacency in DPR Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC when they take on RTC FC of Bhutan on Thursday despite their 11-0 winning start against Master FC on Monday.

Kim Kyong Yong, Choe Kum Ok, Min Kyong Jin and Pak Ye Gyong scored two or more goals in their opener and they will undoubtedly be the ones to look out for.

Chinese Taipei’s Kaohsiung Attackers FC will want to secure another win when they meet Master to give them a confidence booster ahead of a potential group decider against Naegohyang on Sunday.

Group E
Kitchee SC (HKG) v Phnom Penh Crown FC (CAM)
Venue: National Sports Complex of Cambodia (Phnom Penh)
Kick-off: Thursday, 19:00 (UTC+7)

Hong Kong, China’s Kitchee SC begin their campaign against a wounded Phnom Penh Crown FC side that will be determined to overcome their opening defeat to East Bengal.

Phnom Penh Crown battled courageously against the Indian outfit before eventually succumbing to a 70th minute winner from Fazila Ikwaput and another defeat will end any hope of advancing to the Group Stage.

As for head coach Paulo Carreiro, he will be looking for his Kitchee side to claw away the three-point gap to East Bengal ahead of their meeting on Sunday.
